If love was a couple, it would be them.

I’m so happy I got to read this! I had seen this book online and had been wanting to read it so the fact that I got read it now is reeeeally cool.

Reading this felt like drinking hot chocolate on a rainy day or snuggling in to your blanket when the temperature is just right. It was warmth, comfort and love. Not only their words, but their actions towards each other really made feel how comfortable they were In each other’s presence.

I loved the main characters! I love their banter and how they were with each other. their personalities and quirks complemented each other so well despite coming from different backgrounds. I will for sure be reading more for them individually and together.

The art was beautiful! The art was as part of the dialogue as the words were. The intimacy, the touches and expression really brought it all together. The color palette was gorgeous and pleasing to the eye I want to eat it (sorry).

Translation was great! I understood what was being said and how they were saying it. there were 2-3 speech bubbles I had to reread to see if I understood it right, but it did not taking away my enjoyment from read at all and I was able to understand the context on my own.

The story is more of a non-linear out of chronological order sort of way, it is more like popping in randomly on their day-by-day, so if your looking for a cohesive structured story then this is not for you. But I 100% recommend giving it a chance for the characters and beautiful art!

I was thrilled to receive this ARC from the publisher and NetGalley, it was one of my most anticipated translated mangas and it did not disappoint. The art style is fantastic and the romance is perfection. I can’t wait to own a physical copy! Opinions are my own.

I was blown away by the art style in this manga, it's stunning. Everything was so visually pleasing and I loved the fashion. The moments of quiet intimacy and the emphasis on the sense of touch were so beautiful. I am definitely interested in owning a physical copy and look forward to reading more of the series!

had previously seen this comic last year and it was wonderful to revisit it. The characters, color palette, and artwork all worked together in perfect harmony to orchestrate this lovely comic. Veil features the relationship between a police officer and blind socialite turned secretary. They have great chemistry and I was just itching as a reader for them to be together romantically. They worked well with each other despite being total opposites. I personally wished it was one large story rather than a series of vignettes. It was spectacular to see these characters again and I'm excited to see what is in store for the second volume.

This is such a cute manga series full of small vignettes about a police officer who helps a blind woman named Emma and their encounters thereafter. The artistic style of the manga is so gorgeous. There is no real compound story, just their every day life with each other. It never states that they are together but you know they have a deep intimacy whenever they are around one another. While I do enjoy this as a starter point of the series, as some get popular and eventually do become a serial, I hope that this is the case for their story too. Great start, can't wait to read more!

This was beautiful! I love the art style so much, it’s gorgeous. Honestly the whole vibe of this is so good. It’s a slice of life manga and I really liked how we just get different glimpses into their relationship. Aleksander and Emma are so cute together!

Veil Volume 1: Temperature of Orange and Veil Volume 2: Calming Noir by Kotteri

"I like looking at you when you’re enjoying a scent." On a cobblestone street, two people shared a moment. One day, by chance… he, a police officer, met she, a runaway heiress. She was looking for a job, and he welcomed her as the new police station receptionist. Enjoy witty dialogue and bold illustrations in this full-color manga collection by Kotteri!

🎨Kotteri’s artwork is beautifully romantic, and you can see their love for the female form, fashion, and human connection in each detail. The entire story feels like a romantic art book, and the details tell you so much more when you look closely.

🌹These volumes embody the tiny, beautiful moments in a budding relationship. The smallest details aren’t overlooked: moments together sitting on the couch, having a cup of coffee or a sip of alcohol, walking down the street, or simply existing with one another. These little moments are illustrated and conveyed in a way that demonstrates the growing love and comfort of our runaway heiress and Mr. Police Officer.

😌It is a simple, cozy, and wholesome read that leaves you wanting more. Every little touch, smile, blush, and flirtation brings butterflies to my stomach as you remember the beautiful beginnings of love and the little daily comforts of a long, loving relationship.

Veil is a simple story. We follow 'her' and 'him' as they bump into each other and become colleges, friends, and potentially, something more. Emma is a runaway heiress, desperate to find her independence despite her blindness. Alexander is a police officer who offers her a job as a receptionist.

The story is told through quick vignettes, showing us simple glimpses of their lives as they grow closer. This whole series is effortlessly romantic. Every chapter is full of longing, soft glances, and heart achingly sweet touches. There's so many small details that make this so tender. He always touches her hand before touching her face, just to let her know it's him. She asks him to describe colors or paintings, and never fails to compliment his romantic descriptions. He gives her near full independence, but she never wants it if he isn't with her.

Then there's the art. It's absolutely stunning. I love manga artists who have a strong love for fashion, which Kotteri clearly does. Emma is always in beautiful dresses and furs, her hair done in curls. Even Alexander's police uniform, which he wears most of the scenes, is striking and fits him perfectly. Both volumes are in full color, mainly primary pastels, and it gives this dreamlike vintage feel. There are also tons of wonderful standalone art pieces filling out the pages. They look like something ripped straight from a fashion magazine.

This was a stunning series of vignettes featuring a charismatic couple falling for each other. This was almost film-like, glamourous and romantic, with French charisma, phenomenal colour and artwork, and charming characters i fell in love with from page 1. They were so darling with each other and each page and panel carried gorgeous energy as we glimpsed their moments together. And even though this vibe was pretty chill, they were still vibrant and pretty hilarious when they bantered and got cute with each other. This was beautiful and i really enjoyed it and i'm 100% ready to dive right into Veil 2 to see what Emma and Alexander get up to next!

It’s a simple storyline, the story of a man and a woman who met by chance.

Beautiful art, beautiful colors. The narration is not linear and only gives us a glimpse of those strangers who become friends and more with time.

This was a beautiful and wonderful translation of a graphic novel/manga. Such a beautiful book, with art and a simple storyline that’s secretly packed full of content for the reader through the small written excerpts and the art. Absolutely beautiful.

I feel like this manga is all vibes and art and little to no plot. It reads kinda like a classic film. I liked it, but for.p my mangas I like more action than this one. Good for what it was!

This manga was a super quick read and while it took a second to get used to the art style, I really enjoyed the fact it was in color instead of the usual black & white. I think it's cute that this seems like it'll be a slow burn with the two Mmcs living together but I feel like there was a lot of plot holes happening in this for being volume one.

Veil is a gorgeously illustrated slice of life series about a young, wealthy, blind woman and a policeman who becomes her protector when she leaves home to try and discover how to make it on her own. She's quite literally lost on her own in the city. We get very little story and plot overall but each "scene" is a beautifully drawn segment of a moment or a day the pair spend together.

At first I was a bit confused because it does jump around a bit but after finishing I realized I quite liked the little snippets into their lives. Not to mention the art style is gorgeous. I think someone described the outfits as being from the 1960s and I definitely agree. It had this black and white film vibe to it but achieved that somehow in full color.

I really loved the relationship between the two main characters. It was wholesome and danced around romantic affection for each other. It was very cozy and sweet.

The artwork is beautiful but the captions/story jumped around a lot and I couldn’t make sense of what was happening.

Veil has gorgeous art and compelling characters. I love the art style, the fashion choices and the atmosphere. The main characters are fun and have a gorgeous dynamic between them.
